Special Local Regulations; Sector Ohio 

Valley Annual and Recurring Special 

Local Regulations 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes 

amending and updating its special local 

regulations for recurring marine 

parades, regattas, and other events that 

take place in the Coast Guard Sector 

Ohio Valley area of responsibility 

(AOR). This proposed rulemaking 

would update the current list of 

recurring special local regulations with 

revisions, additions, and removals of 

events that no longer take place in the 

Sector Ohio Valley AOR. We invite your 

comments on this proposed rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before January 12, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2023–0903 using the Federal DecisionMaking Portal at https://

www.regulations.gov. See the ‘‘Public 

Participation and Request for 

Comments’’ portion of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. This 

notice of proposed rulemaking with its 

plain-language, 100-word-or-less 

proposed rule summary will be 

available in this same docket. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions about this proposed 

rulemaking, call or email Petty Officer 

Bryan Crane, Sector Ohio Valley, U.S. 

Coast Guard; telephone (502) 779–5334,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CFR Code of Federal Regulations 

DHS Department of Homeland Security 

FR Federal Register 

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio 

Valley (COTP) proposes to update the 

current list of recurring special local 

regulations for events occurring within 

the Sector Ohio Valley area of 

responsibility within the Coast Guard’s 

Eighth District. The list of events we 

seek to update is in Title 33 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR) section 

100.801, Table 1 to § 100.801. 

The Coast Guard will consider 

comments submitted on this proposed 

rule in determining if any additional 

revisions are needed to this regulatory 

section. Additionally, the public would 

be informed of these recurring events 

through local means and planned by the 

local communities. 

The current list of annual and 

recurring special local regulations 

occurring in Sector Ohio Valley’s AOR 

is published in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 

1 titled ‘‘Ohio Valley Annual and 

Reoccurring Marine Events.’’ The most 

recent list was published on April 4, 

2023 (87 FR 6026). 

The Coast Guard’s authority for 

establishing a special local regulation is 

contained in 46 U.S.C. 70041(a). The 

Coast Guard proposes to amend and 

update the special local regulations in 

33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, to include the 

most up to date list of recurring special 

local regulations for events held on or 

around the navigable waters within 

Sector Ohio Valley’s AOR. These events 

would include marine parades, boat 

races, swim events, and other marine 

related events. The current list under 33 

CFR 100.801, Table 1, requires 

amendment to provide new information 

on existing special local regulations, 

add new special local regulations 

expected to recur annually or 

biannually, and to remove special local 

regulations that no longer occur. Issuing 

individual regulations for each new 

special local regulation, amendment, or 

removal of an existing special local 

regulation creates unnecessary 

administrative costs and burdens. This 

single proposed rulemaking will 

considerably reduce administrative 

overhead. It also provide the public 

with notice through publication in the 

Federal Register of all recurring special 

local regulations in the AOR. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

Part 100 of 33 CFR contains 

regulations describing regattas and 

marine parades conducted on U.S. 

navigable waters in order to ensure the 

safety of life in the regulated areas. 

Section 100.801 provides the 

regulations applicable to events taking 

place in the Eighth Coast Guard District 

and also provides a table listing each 

event and special local regulations. This 

section requires amendment from time 

to time to properly reflect the recurring 

special local regulations. This proposed 

rule would update section 100.801, 

Table 1 titled ‘‘Ohio Valley Annual and 

Reoccurring Marine Events.’’ 

This proposed rule would add 4 new 

recurring special local regulations to 

Table 1 of section 100.801 for Sector 

Ohio Valley, as follows: 

Date Event/sponsor

Lastly, this proposed rule would 

remove 2 recurring special local 

regulations in Table 1 of section 100.801 

for Sector Ohio Valley. The events will 

no longer occur as described. Changes 

are as follows: 

Date Event/sponsor 

Sector Ohio Valley 

location 

(city, state) 

Regulated area 

1 Day—One of the first two weekends in July City 

of Bellevue, KY/Bellevue Beach Park Concert 

Fireworks Bellevue, KY Ohio River, Miles

(Kentucky & Ohio). 

1 Day—First week in August ................................. Gliers Goetta Fest LLC .............. Newport, KY ............... Ohio River, Miles 469.0–471.0. 

The effect of this proposed rule would 

be to restrict general navigation during 

these events. Vessels intending to transit 

the designated waterways during 

effective periods of the special local 

regulations would only be allowed to 

transit the area when the COTP or 

designated representative, has deemed it 

would be safe to do so or at the 

completion of the event. 

IV. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

Executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on a number of these statutes and 

Executive orders, and we discuss First 

Amendment rights of protestors. 

A. Regulatory Planning and Review 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits. 

This NPRM has not been designated a 

‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under 

section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as 

amended by Executive Order 14094 

(Modernizing Regulatory Review). 

Accordingly, the NPRM has not been 

reviewed by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB). 

The Coast Guard expects the 

economic impact of this proposed rule 

to be minimal, therefore a full regulatory 

evaluation is unnecessary. This 

proposed rule would establish special 

local regulations limiting access to 

certain areas described in 33 CFR 

100.801, Table 1. The effect of this 

proposed rulemaking would not be 

significant because these special local 

regulations are limited in scope and 

duration. Additionally, the public 

would be given advance notification 

through local forms of notice, the 

Federal Register, or Notices of 

Enforcement. Thus, the public would be 

able to plan their operations and 

activities around enforcement times of 

the special local regulations. Broadcast 

Notices to Mariners, Local Notices to 

Mariners, and Safety Marine 

Information Broadcasts would also 

inform the community of these special 

local regulations. Vessel traffic would be 

permitted to request permission from 

the COTP or a designated representative 

to enter the restricted areas. 

B. Impact on Small Entities 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 

1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, 

requires Federal agencies to consider 

the potential impact of regulations on 

small entities during rulemaking. The 

term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small 

businesses, not-for-profit organizations 

that are independently owned and 

operated and are not dominant in their 

fields, and governmental jurisdictions 

with populations of less than 50,000. 

The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 

605(b) that this proposed rule would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

While some owners or operators of 

vessels intending to transit the regulated 

area may be small entities, for reasons 

stated in section IV.A. above, this 

proposed rule would not have a 

significant economic impact on any 

owner or operator because they are 

limited in scope and will be in effect for 

short periods of time. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this proposed rule would have 

a significant economic impact on it, 

please submit a comment (see 

ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it 

qualifies and how and to what degree 

this rule would economically affect it. 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), 

we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this proposed rule. If the 

proposed rule would affect your small 

business, organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 

compliance, please call or email the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section. The Coast 

Guard will not retaliate against small 

entities that question or complain about 

this proposed rule or any policy or 

action of the Coast Guard. 

C. Collection of Information 

This proposed rule would not call for 

a new collection of information under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). 

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal 

Governments 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132 

(Federalism), if it has a substantial 

direct effect on the States, on the 

relationship between the National 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. We have analyzed 

this proposed rule under that order and 

have determined that it is consistent 

with the fundamental federalism 

principles and preemption requirements 

described in Executive Order 13132. 

Also, this proposed rule does not have 

tribal implications under Executive 

Order 13175 (Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Governments) because it would not 

have a substantial direct effect on one or 

more Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes. 

If you believe this proposed rule has 

implications for federalism or Indian 

tribes, please call or email the person 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section. 

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or Tribal Government, in 

the aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this 

proposed rule would not result in such 

an expenditure, we do discuss the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
86298 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 238 / Wednesday, December 13, 2023 / Proposed Rules 

potential effects of this proposed rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. 

F. Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Department of Homeland 

Security Directive 023–01, Rev. 1, 

associated implementing instructions, 

and Environmental Planning 

COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which 

guide the Coast Guard in complying 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have made a preliminary determination 

that this action is one of a category of 

actions that do not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment. Normally such 

actions are categorically excluded from 

further review under paragraph L[61] of 

Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction 

Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 1. of the 

Instruction because it involves 

establishment of special local 

regulations related to marine event 

permits for marine parades, regattas, 

and other marine events. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this 

proposed rule. 

G. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to call or email the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places, or vessels. 

V. Public Participation and Request for 

Comments 

We view public participation as 

essential to effective rulemaking and 

will consider all comments and material 

received during the comment period. 

Your comment can help shape the 

outcome of this rulemaking. If you 

submit a comment, please include the
